Procedure
Check the following points before starting EasyMP Network Projection when connecting via Wireless LAN. If the following points are not set correctly, Multi-screen display cannot be used. The SSID for the computer and each projector must be the same. The wireless LAN system for the computer and each projector must be the same. You can modify the SSID and Wireless LAN system for the projector from the Network menu in the projector's Configuration menu.s User's Guide "Wireless LAN Menu"

Procedure
26
B Click "Connect".
In a Windows environment, you cannot view the image being sent to a virtual display on the computer. To adjust the image on the virtual display, you must do so while viewing the projected image. To perform mouse-based operations on the virtual display, move the mouse pointer in the direction of the virtual display, such that the pointer appears on the virtual display.
27
In a Windows environment, if the virtual display driver has been enabled such that the mouse pointer can be moved outside the limits of the screen, there may be occasions when you lose track of the location of the pointer. If you are not using a virtual display, clear the virtual display checkbox on the Add-Remove EPSON Virtual Display screen so that the mouse pointer moves back inside the screen's display area. To subsequently use multi-display again, place a check mark against the required display under Add-Remove EPSON Virtual Display. To clear a check mark, see the following.s p.21

Specifying Either an IP Address or Projector Name and Performing a Search (Advanced Connection Mode Only)
In the following explanations, unless otherwise noted, Windows screen shots are used. The similar screens are also displayed for Mac OS.
Procedure
If a search fails to find a projector, the most likely causes are as follows. Proceed as appropriate, depending on the cause of the failure. For both Windows and Mac OS: If there is no wireless LAN signal or if the signal is weak, check whether there is anything that could be interfering with the signal. When the optional Wireless LAN unit is installed in the projector, and connecting Mac OS to a wireless LAN: Check whether AirPort is set to On. Or, check whether an appropriate access point has been selected. When you use Manual search in Quick Connection Mode, you can specify the SSID. When there are a lot of projectors you can narrow the search field by using SSID.
29
The search results are displayed on the EasyMP Network Projection projector selection screen. Provided the target projector has been identified, select that projector, and then click Connect to establish a connection. When you will always be using that projector, save the search as a Profile, so that you do not have to specify the relevant details every time you perform a search. s p.29

For Mac OS
Projector information is registered in the Profile. If you have previously saved a Profile, you are prompted to confirm whether or not to overwrite. To save a Profile with a different name, select Save as. If you have created a folder for a Profile, the following screens are displayed. After entering the Profile name and selecting the Save in destination, click Add.
For Windows
For details on how to create a folder for a Profile, see the following section. s p.31

Procedure
Managing a Profile
You can change the name and the hierarchical structure of the Profile.
Procedure
B From the menu that is displayed, select the projector you want
to connect to.
The search results are displayed on the EasyMP Network Projection projector selection screen. Provided the target projector has been identified, select that projector, and then click Connect to establish a connection.
